United Nations Global Compact
At Getmeds Philippines, we do more than provide medicines—we drive meaningful impact through responsible healthcare, compassion, and sustainable action.

SDG Action 02
Solar-Powered Cold-Chain Storage
Clean energy that keeps medicines safe, even during power outages.
Lower emissions
Powered by the sun, not the grid.
Uninterrupted protection
Medicines stay safe during outages.
SDG Action 03
Honeycomb Paper Packaging
Same protection, less plastic in every shipment.
We changed how we pack medicines.
Getmeds Philippines has replaced plastic bubble wrap and foam with kraft paper wrap for selected medicines in our packing operations. It is recyclable, biodegradable, and cushions fragile medicine packaging just as well as plastic in transit — so we transition safely, without compromising medicine integrity.
This is what the United Nations Global Compact means when it calls on businesses to turn sustainability commitments into measurable action. As the second pharmaceutical company in the Philippines to join, Getmeds treats the Sustainable Development Goals not as principles we endorse, but as standards we are held to.
SDG Action 04
Electric Vehicles for Dispatch
Zero tailpipe emissions
From our warehouse to your door, our dispatch fleet runs on electric power: cleaner deliveries for the communities we serve.
SDG Action 05
Tree Planting Activity
Growing a greener future
Our team in action: Getmeds team members planting trees to restore green spaces and support climate action.
By aligning with UNGC, Getmeds Philippines, only the second pharmaceutical company of its kind in the Philippines to join, integrates these principles and goals into our operations. This milestone highlights our commitment to ethical business practices, sustainable growth, and social responsibility. Through this partnership, we aim to set new standards in the healthcare industry, improve access to quality medicines, and create a positive, lasting impact on communities nationwide. Joining UNGC also reflects our dedication to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ensuring that every step we take in business aligns with global efforts for a healthier, fairer, and more sustainable world.
